Don't expect improvements in speed. For me it's all about comfort.
What's a major job for you? You can memorize the layout in a day, type painfully slow for a couple days, start to feel rather comfortable in a week or two tops (still likely slower, depending on how fast you were, but now you're accustomed to the pace you type at on your new layout). Getting to the 80-100 WPM range takes weeks.
This, of course, assumes that you put in the effort (do drills and memorize the layout first of all; keep doing drills daily, and don't switch back to your old layout when it feels convenient).
- stormdennis 6y agoThanks for the replies everyone. The sense I'm getting is there's are no magic bullet keyboards out there and the best thing to do is stick with Qwerty and take some lessons. BTW I've seen a kid touch typing one handed at a phenomenal speed, the other hand being taken up with the mouse.
